I think time is finite and I think the act of spending time writing uncritical pieces on zelensky is a choice about how to spend the finite time. I think making that choice is an act of prioritization.
I think zelensky's puff pieces are propaganda, the same way I think putin as the head of a giant propaganda machine.
I think spending time un-puffing zelensky is a choice and I think that choice can be measured by its opportunity cost.
Zelensky puff pieces aren't even a tenth of the evil that putin's puff pieces are. Why is it a priority to spend time debunking Zelensky's puff?
There are a million stories that could be written. Choosing to write an anti-propaganda pieces is prioritizing the outcome of doing so over spending time writing about mistreatment of pows, and writing about the mistreatment of pows is at the cost of an infinite number of other potential stories. Each story has an outcome. Each story is a finger on the scale of public opinion.
So what does the way a news service prioritizes their stories say about the news service?
